Erik's Configuration Language

It's my own personal taste on a configuration language. Built to be:

• Easy to parse
• Easy to write
• Low number of bytes needed.
• Transpilation to other formats like JSON, TOML, YAML.

Example

• ECL:

name "my_app"
year 2019
version 1.000000
debug? y
authors [
  "Erik Campobadal <soc@erik.cat>"
  "Some Other <some@example.com>"
]
connection {
  host "127.0.0.1"
  database "sample"
  user "root"
  password "secret"
}

• JSON:

{
  "name": "my_app",
  "year": 2019,
  "version": 1.000000,
  "debug": true,
  "authors": [
    "Erik Campobadal <soc@erik.cat>",
    "Some Other <some@example.com>"
  ],
  "connection": {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "database": "sample",
    "user": "root",
    "password": "secret"
  }
}

• TOML:

name = "my_app"
year = 2019.0
version = 1.0
debug = true
authors = [
  "Erik Campobadal <soc@erik.cat>",
  "Some Other <some@example.com>"
]

[connection]
host = "127.0.0.1"
database = "sample"
user = "root"
password = "secret"

• YAML:

name: my_app
year: 2019
version: 1
debug: true
authors:
  - Erik Campobadal <soc@erik.cat>
  - Some Other <some@example.com>
connection:
  host: 127.0.0.1
  database: sample
  user: root
  password: secret
